Bacon Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 The best part about easter eggs is finding them yourself. Doesn't really matter how early it is in the game either. /shrug Ended up switching to Frame rate mode around the time I got to the Eikonic Challenge bit. Gonna stick with it. Not sure, exactly how cutscenes work, but I feel like they look worse in frame rate mode but I'm not entirely sure about that. If that is the case, I wish the cutscenes would boost up to graphics mode. They might already do that and it's all in my head. I had been worried about one thing regarding Clive ever since the demo. Luckily, what I was worried about wasn't true. Spoiler I thought maybe, somehow, SE was gonna pull some fast one on us and that Clive somehow wasn't Ifrit. Like, his body was getting taken over or something. Glad that ends up being not like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 No major spoilers but I'm gong to spoiler tag some stuff going on in my mind about what I have played. Spoiler Bummed that we didn't get any young Clive as a slave. Wanted Clive's freedom to feel more important. Kinda just glossed over a bunch of shit. Kinda lame how you get the dog back. It was just, k here's your dog that is old as fuck in dog years. Here's your dog back that was never renamed in 13 years and it still defers to you despite being a puppy the last time you saw it. Didn't get as far as I wanted to. Started from scratch, spent a lot of time trying to get a feel on the magic burst combo, tried using the god awful a type controls. Pretty sure I stopped right before the game "opens up". Didn't expect the forest to be so linear. Didn't hate it. The first eikon fight was mostly just a cinematic but not nearly as hands off as the Phoenix one. I enjoyed it for what it is. Story remains strong and still majorly cutscene heavy. Voice acting also remains strong and good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slug Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I skipped the demo so today is my first look at the game. So far so good. I'm assuming jumping/air attacks become enhanced/better later because right now I don't see the point. Even after buying the double jump ability I can only get one attack off in the air if I'm lucky. I remember zipping around mid-air like a maniac in XV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember zipping around mid-air like a maniac in XV. I doubt you'll be zipping around like in FFXV at any point in the game since that game you could air juggle just by holding circle and wiggling the stick (which, as it turns out, is how you do 99% of combat in FFXV) -- but you do get more launchers and ways to stay in the air longer. Also I hate how if you're cycling through the menus and land on the map there's this multiple second pause before you can move to the next tab. Can load the entire fuckin' game world in 7 seconds but I'm waiting like 3 just for a map tab I don't even want to look at?! Could easily fix it by not locking the controls as the map's icons are loading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Final Fantasy 16's PC version is next on Yoshi-P's to-do list | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM The IRL loading screen gets longer as the in-game ones get shorter. Quote The long saga of trying to figure out when PC players will be able to play Final Fantasy 16 continues. Although there's still no release date for it, producer Naoki "Yoshi-P" Yoshida says the PC version is still in development and that you'll hear more about it when it gets closer to the finish line. Speaking on a recent stream, Yoshida said the PC version still needs work in order to mirror the PlayStation 5 version of the game, specifically citing its lack of loading screens when traveling between locations and transitioning from cutscenes to gameplay. Yoshida says the team hasn't "had the time to optimize the PC version of the game" because they've been busy with the PS5 version. "We will be sharing more about the PC version when the time is right, please look forward to it," he said, echoing a sentiment he often shares when talking about upcoming features for the other Final Fantasy he's in charge of, Final Fantasy 14.

Xbob42 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 FF14 does its localization in-house and the localization team has helped shape the lore and story to a fair extent, they're not like some separate office that gets shipped a final product. Probably why 14's English acting is also excellent. (From Heavensward on.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can just download the free trial from Steam or PSN. Don't think it's on Xbox for whatever reason. I think making an account used to suck but they recently simplified it, or at least made the account page less hideous. Getting Started | Game Manual | FINAL FANTASY XIV, The Lodestone NA.FINALFANTASYXIV.COM This section will explain how to install FINAL FANTASY XIV, as well as how to create your character and begin the game. That looks like it's about right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely an aspect of what appears to be a "strained" relationship between SE and MSFT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
